So often it seems like the happiest couples look alike. Watch the anniversary notices in the newspaper and you'll soon agree with me. The 50th wedding celebration announcements sport two people who have grown to even look alike.... or maybe they've always looked alike. But every once in a while, you'll come across a Mutt and Jeff duo that seem to be at odds as a couple, and yet their relationship lasted a quarter or half a century.

What is the glue that ties people together for a lifetime? I've asked myself that question too many times to count. But until I've come up with the answer, I'll have to be satisfied with looking for clues in relationships like the one in this clip...

Betrayal leaves an ugly scar. Those of you who've been in a relationship where you've felt the cutting sting of a lover turning their back on you, probably know the lasting affects that sometimes taint our expectations of those around us. We almost come to expect more of the same (shame on us).

Sometimes it's good to be reminded of those things that are true and faithful. I came across this little clip and had to smile.

This little reminder of faithfulness made me pause and reflect on the many true friends that I really have. And to all of you personal friends who read my blog, let me say that you mean the world to me!

I was also reminded of another friend... "a friend that sticks closer than a brother"... "a friend who laid down his life." JESUS

I don't want to get sappy sweet here, but there's no one in my life who knows me as well. I never have to smile when I don't feel like smiling, I never feel pressured to be strong and brave when I feel like hiding, I don't have to worry about interrupting his dinner to talk to Him or intruding on his family time...

He's just there. He knows. He shares. He listens. He cares. And yes, He even speaks or whispers His love in so many ways. It might be in the song of a bird, or the hug of a friend, a sermon from the pulpit, or a gentle reminder that true friends care and will always be there!
